Farewell Mr Davis

Mr Davis has been with us in Hodges House for just over four years now, and his impact on the house will never be forgotten. He has always been a place of comfort for all the boys that have been and gone through the house, as an assitant housemaster, tutor and a friend. We will never forget the Friday night feasts that he provided for us, the superiority of his Fifa skills, and his amazing and endless chats about literally anything. The boys will never forget Mr Davis, and even if he says it, it will be so difficult replace him.

From a personal experience, Mr Davis was my assistant housemaster, tutor and basketball coach. His way of being able to comfort the boys if things are not going well in the house is a testimony to his amazing character and, sometimes, youthful personality. He always put the house first and wanted the boys to feel at home. When I first walked into Hodges, he welcomed me and the other year 8 boys with open arms, beginning of an amazing friendship. His organisation in tutor group made it a time where we could clear our heads after the first two, sometimes challenging, lessons and relax and enjoy ourselves. Whether it was card games, diary cricket, somewhat educational videos, or a barbeque in the house, we always enjoyed ourselves, and Mr Davis made it so.

The house will greatly miss Mr Davis. He was a pivotal part of the house and we only wish him well in his future endeavors. Thank you sir, and good luck.
